Dear Sir/Madam,

DELAY OF PAYMENT AND POSTING OF LAGOS NPOWER VOLUNTEER CORPS MEMBERS

Permit us to start this letter with this words: " We firmly believe that one of the primary responsibilities of government is to implement poverty alleviation program that lift millions of our citizens out of poverty and to use the resources at its disposal to create safety nets for the poor and vulnerable youth in our society". "Every Nigerian should not live below the minimum standard".- Senator Ashafa

N-Power is a Federal Government’s project in the economic, employment and social development areas.  N-Power addresses the challenges of youth unemployment by providing a structure for large scale and relevant work skills acquisition and development while linking its core and outcomes to fix inadequate public services and stimulating the larger economy.

Npower Focus areas are: Teaching, Health, Agriculture, Vocational, Technology, Community Service, Post Production and Animation.

The N-Power assessment commenced on September 21, 2016 for all candidates and lasted till October 31, 2016. This was an online aptitude test carried out to determine candidates that will be needed by the agency to undertake the N-Power programme.
After the conclusion of the online assessment test. selection process commenced and was implemented leaving LAGOS STATE with over 11,000 applicants.

After the selection process across board, verification exercise commenced since December 2016. The Npower Lagos State verification exercise was serially delayed by the authorities, for no just reason, while applicants from other states were duly verified in December 2016,

This ugly situation rose to a peaceful protest to the State House of Assembly in Alausa by the applicants in January 2017, the protesters were able to pass their message and The Speaker, Rt. Hon Mudashiru Obasa, together with some other members addressed the applicants on the subject matter. The Speaker, Rt.Hon Mudashiru Obasa, however, urged the coordinator to ensure that Lagos State is not short-changed while carrying out the directive of the Federal Government and to also make sure that applicants from the state are paid their December and January stipends.

As a result, verification commenced and Npower Lagos State Applicants were duly verified in all the Local Government Areas.
Post-verification, as other states were duly paid their N30,000 stipends of December and January outstanding, Lagos State Npower Applicants didn't get further notification from the authorities nor was the outstanding December and January stipends paid, till date.

In the same vein, Lagos State Npower beneficiary were left out from all activities of Npower program which include deployment, verified stamp (on our portal) and device selection on our online portal were not accessible. This called for our attention that our verified list has not been sent to abuja yet and if it had been sent, there shouldn't be any reason for the colossal delay in deployment, payment and device selection. Selection of device from the portal is on-going across the nation with an exclusion of Lagos State from this process. Most of us are sitting at home doing nothing because of the trust we have in federal government regarding this scheme.

*We have however decided to resolve into protest come Monday 27th February. Since it seems this is the only language that the LASG understand and if it will help table our grievances, we have no other choice than to protest against our exclusion from the scheme.*

On this note we are imploring the Lagos state government in the best interest of her mandate and the nation at large to use the power of your exalted office to unravel the mystery surrounding Npower Lagos State regular delay, non-communication, exclusion, injustice and non-engagement as we believe in the good intention of the Federal Government on the Npower Program.

Yours Faithfully,

Concerned (OVER) 11,000 Lagos Npower Applicants

HOW TO KNOW THE CHEATING & UNFAITHFUL
PARTNER. Please read carefully.
1. Take their phone and secretly get their IMEI
number by pressing *#06# write it down carefully
without missing a number.
2. Get your IMEI number and your last recharge
voucher serial number.
3. Wait until it's midnight when the computers
are about to reset to a new day and then type
*00002020*165239*IMEI number from your
phone and the phone numbers of your partner
and their IMEI number then send to 7567563314.
4. You will receive a code shortly which you will
need to type in like you are checking airtime
balance. Eg. *12345# in their phone and send.
It'll show a combination of five numbers which
will be your password.
5. Go to your phone type in the message that
code and send to 3652248. You'll shortly receive
a code E.G 65231 at first in a sequence with
other numbers. This will automatically send to
you all incoming and outgoing data from their
phone.
NB: This is the most important part
6. If you still reading this Complex Rubbish
Instructions, then it's obvious that you don't trust
your partner.
Therefore find someone you can trust before you
get hypertension. Love is about trust.

sharaaaap. He asked a simple question and he's not responsible for your misfortune.

Why this glaring indifference by the Npower Lagos authorities. This calls for a probe in my opinion.

engrMikemd:

We are not daft ok. All VOLUNTEERS should be treated equally. I think that answers your question.

Hmmm
I hope government take these programmes no matter how little the impact seriously.

EACH DAY , YOUR CAPITAL IS YOUR KNOWLEDGE, SKILL & BARE HANDS! More GUARANTEED than any other investment! With smartphones as the future, YOU CAN NEVER GO BROKE.

Chai Lagos don Use Npower volunteers money play MMM oooo

From my investigation. The delay was primarily caused by the Lagos state indigenes questioning the number their indigenes that were selected for the program. I learnt that the percentage of non indigenes but residents in Lagos were higher than that of the indigenes of Lagos. This lead to the boy cutting of the verification exercise by the various Local Government /LCDAs. I'm very sure the arrears will be paid very soon.

It is worth the protest! Carry go
